1 Pfennig - Rupert II Amberg

Rupert II ruled the Electoral Palatinate from 1390 until his death in 1398, a period marked by persistent friction with the Rhenish town leagues and ongoing disputes over toll rights along the Rhine. The Amberg mint, located in the Upper Palatinate, served the eastern territorial holdings separately from the Heidelberg operation — a deliberate administrative division that reflected just how geographically fragmented Palatinate authority actually was in the late fourteenth century.

Emmerig's Regensburg regional census places this type at reference 6, suggesting early documentation but limited surviving population.
